Never needed it but I laughed when she suggested it.

Tuna live in the ocean, so they are not freshwater fish, but unfortunately most water is contaminated with mercury, oceans, rivers and lakes.  This link gives a good run down of mercury amounts in various fish: http://www.americanheart.com/presenter.jhtml?identifier=3013797  Salmon is actually pretty low on the contamination list, and I would feel ok with eating it.  Look for wild caught Alaskan Salmon, as they are the most sustainably fished.

Overall, salmon is low...because they include the wildcaught Alaskan in the numbers...other sources of salmon, however, is rather high...and is where most restaurants get there inventory. :(
